OHSAS 18001:2007 is principally a recognised set of rules which companies implement with the aim of managing Health & Safety issues and associated hazards within their company. The main outputs from such a management system are procedures and methods which enable companies to identify, reduce, mitigate and control Health & Safety concerns within their business.

18001:2007 forms part of a family of 18000 standards, documents and guidelines; there are a large number of these associated documents, with new or revised documents being added all the time to inform and increase companies' understanding of requirements and continually improve their Health & Safety business models.
